Clear view ahead: Asus with mainboards whose connections are on the back


from Benjamin Grundken
Hobbyists who also regard hardware as eye-catchers may find one or the other cable a thorn in their side. Asus is now expressing itself with mainboards whose connections are on the back and wants to get case manufacturers on board.

The days of plastic bombers as housing, grass-green circuit boards and purely functional coolers are long gone. Appearance doesn’t mean everything to everyone, but it is important to many and this is reflected in various design elements: through to artfully disguised cables and elaborate lighting elements. Asus now even seems to want to ban the cabling completely from view as part of a “DIY-APE revolution”.

Of course, the connections don’t disappear completely, they just move to the back. The ones about the Chinese portal bilibili The mainboards shown move the power connections as well as SATA, USB, fan and front panel connections to the rear. According to the video, Intel boards with B660, B760 and H610 PCH could be involved like AMD boards with B650.

It goes without saying that connections cannot be randomly placed on the back. In the end, the case manufacturers also have to join in – unless you follow a closed approach like Gigabyte did with “Stealth”. Asus has therefore brought Sama, Lian Li, Cooler Master, Cougar, Phanteks and Jonsbo on board.

It remains to be noted that Asus does not (yet) officially sell such a design, but is experimenting with it. When and to what extent Asus will really ignite the “DIY-APE revolution” remains to be seen. Outside of the circle of enthusiasts, the potential customer base is likely to be relatively small, and circuit boards of this type would be correspondingly expensive. In addition, even hobbyists are not necessarily bothered by cables. After all, you can coat them nicely and set your own accents.
